INTRODUCTION

District Budgam derives its name from one of its villages which is

it‟s headquarter. The District is surrounded by district Baramulla

on the north and north-west, Srinagar on the north-east and its

south-east by Pulwama. The Pir Panchal Range separates the

District from the Poonch district towards south-west. The area of

the District is 1371 Sq. Kms. The District extends to both the

mountainous and plain areas of varying heights and has an

average altitude of 1610 feet above the sea level. The climate of

the District is more or less the same as that of Srinagar except

that its higher regions get heavier snowfall and experience severe

cold in winter.

The administrative headquarter of District; situated at

Budgam is 14 Kms away from Srinagar, the summer capital of the

state. District Budgam now has Nine Tehsils namely Budgam,

Beerwah, B.K.Pora, Chadoora, Charisharief, Khansahib, Khag,

Magam and Narbal. It comprises of Seventeen Community

Development Blocks. These blocks are Budgam, Beerwah,

B.K.Pora, Chadoora, Charisharief, Khag, Khansahib, Nagam,

Narbal, Pakherpora, Parnewa, Ratsun, Soibugh, Sukhnag,

Surasyar, S.K.Pora and Waterhail. These blocks are further

divided into 281 Panchayat Halqas which are the basic units of

Local Self Government. The District has 510 villages.

The famous shrine of Sheikh Noor-ud-Din Wali (R.A.), the

revered Sufi Saint of Kashmir, is located at Charisharief besides

the shrines / tombs of other prominent Saints and Sufis located

in Budgam are: Shrine of Hazrat Ali Aali Balkhi at Pakherpora,

tombs of Mir SHamas-ud-Din Iraqi, the shrine of Syed Sualleh

Khansahib.


The District has a population of 7, 35,000 having the total

total geographical area of 1371 sq. km. The District is mostly

rural in character except the notified areas of Charisharief,

Chadoora, Budgam, Khansahib, Magam and Beerwah. Besides

some areas fall in the outgrowth of Srinagar city.

Agriculture is the main stay of economy in the District

having the total agricultural land of 78000 hectares, with the

families of 88000. The area in the District is generally single-

cropped. The main food crops grown in the District are rice,

maize, wheat, oilseed, pulses and vegetables.

Horticulture is a very important economic activity in the

District and presently 33000 hectares of land is under fruit

plantations. Fruits such as Apple, Walnut, Pear, Almonds have a

very good potential in the district.

The livestock population of the District as per 2002 census

of livestock population was of the order of 4.55 lakh animals

besides 5.58 lakhs poutry birds. There is one sheep farm at

Kralpathri where 1524 Rams were available. Besides there are 56

mobile sheep centers in the District. The District also exports

surplus milk to other districts. The per capita availability of milk

is 220 ml. The egg production has also increased to 61.62 million

numbers. Fisheries development also holds promise in the

District because of availability of natural springs. The industry

sector is in its infancy in the District and there were only 11

registered factories in the District. However, a large chunk of

population derives its livelihood from Handicraft & Handloom

activities in the District set up at individual level and through

cooperatives.


There is one power generating unit available in the District

and is connected with other districts for the purpose of

electrification. The district has total road length of 1178.23 kms

which includes 437.28 kms as black topped, 534.44 kms as metal

led, 148.37 Kms as shingled and 55.99 kms as fair weather roads.

There is one telephone exchange operating in the District

through which 5330 telephone connections have been installed

comprising of 417 Public Call Offices (PCOs), 220 Government

connections and 4693 private connections. Thus, on an average,

there is only one phone connection for 118 persons.

There are 34 Govt. Higher Secondary Schools, 106 Govt.

High Schools, 430 Govt. Middle Schools and 709 Govt. Primary

Schools available in the District totaling 1279 schools in all. The

total enrolment in these schools has reached 89854 students. The

total number of teachers in these schools is 8247, which gives

teacher – pupil ratio of 1:10.

There is one district hospital, 9 sub-district hospitals, 71

primary health centres, 10 Allopathic dispensaries, 41 sub-

centres in the District. There is one doctor available to every 2036

persons in the District.

District Budgam having Kandi belts and Karewa zones, is at

a disadvantage as regards drinking water supply. As per previous

survey, 475 inhabited villages had been covered for supply of safe

drinking water and the concerned department is trying to ensure

full coverage of all villages in a phased manner.

The scenic spots / hill stations like Yusmarg, Dud Pathri,

Nilnag are located in the District Budgam and these areas provide

opportunities for camping, trekking & mountaineering.

DISASTER MANAGEMENT

Despite progress of science and technological

advancements, mankind is still unable to come to grips with the

fury of nature. Natural disasters continue to have an adverse

impact on human life.

The term disaster has come from a French word „Disastre”

which is further a combination of two separate terms – „Des‟

meaning evil or bad and „Astre‟ meaning star. So in combination it

means evil or bad star.

Disaster is a sudden or great misfortune, calamity. Disaster

is a sudden devastating event producing great material damage,

loss of life and distress.

Disaster disrupts normal pattern of life. It brings hardship

and has adverse effect on health. It causes damage to

infrastructure, buildings, communication system and other

essential services, thereby causing disruption in normal life.

TYPES OF DISASTER

Disaster may be due to human activities or triggered by

nature. Disasters triggered by nature can be further be classified

as wind related e.g. storm, cyclone, tornado, hurricane etc; water

related e.g. floods, flash floods, excessive rain etc; geological e.g.

earthquakes, snow avalanches, landslides, volcanic eruptions etc;

climatic disasters e.g. drought, famine etc.

Man made disasters are nuclear explosions, industrial

accidents, fires of various kinds, accidents of automobiles, trains,

aero planes, etc.

Disasters can also be classified according to their speed of

occurrence. They are mainly of two types __ disasters with rapid

onset e.g. earthquake, tornado, cyclone etc and the other type is

„creeping‟ disaster e.g. drought, famine, epidemic, civil unrest etc.


Disasters with rapid onset give little warning before they strike.

On the other hand disasters such as drought, famine are

relatively more predictable.

Experiencing wide scale destruction, by natural and man

made disasters, has made us realize that though the occurrence

of such disasters can not be completely stopped, a concerted

effort can go a long way in minimizing the adverse effects of these

events by adopting suitable means.

We do not live in a totally risk free environment. There are

hazards which naturally occur and these hazards have the

potential to create huge losses. For instance, most parts of J&K

come in high seismic zone (zone V] and there remains the hazard

of earthquakes. The chance of a particular hazard actually

occurring is the risk – a combination of hazard & vulnerability.

There are other hazards as well which pose danger to our life &

property.

Therefore, there is the need for disaster management. It is

possible to reduce the impact of disasters by adopting appropriate

disaster mitigation strategies. The disaster mitigation efforts

would include.

i. Minimizing the potential risks by developing early warning

system.

ii. Preparing and implementing development plans to provide

resilience to such disasters.

iii. Improving & developing communication & health care

services.

iv. Having a sound rehabilitation & post disaster reduction

strategy.


Disaster Management would broadly involve pre- disaster

planning, preparedness, monitoring and relief management

capability. Disaster management has become an applied science

which, through systematic observation & analysis of a disaster,

aims to improve measures related to prevention, mitigation,

preparedness, emergency response, & recovery.

In the present times there has been a gradual shift in the

concept of dealing with disasters from disaster response to

disaster mitigation. Thus it is wiser and feasible to take preventive

measures before a disaster rather than attempting to save lives &

property after the disaster has already occurred. This goes

according to the popular saying “a stitch in time saves nine”.

The disaster control policies have already been introduced

by various countries. To quote an example , in China the flooding

killed more than 3000 lives in 1998 but similar floods in 1931 &

1954 cost 1,40,000 & 33,000 lives respectively. Japan is now able

to cope with earthquakes of high magnitude because of an

effective & extensive disaster management approach adopted by

the governments over the years. Post-1970, all buildings in Tokyo

can withstand earthquakes of magnitudes 7.5 or more on Richter

scale. We shall also have to work along these lines.


DISASTER PREVENTION STRATEGY

WE MUST GIVE ATTENTION TO PREVENTIVE ACTIONS …

AN EXCERPT FROM THE TIMES OF INDIA WRITEUP “INDIA, WORLD

LEADER IN NATURAL DISASTERS” BY SWAMINATHAN

S.ANKLESARIA AIYAR (PUBLISHED ON MAY 14, 2006)

“India leads the world in the natural disasters. In the last two

decades, it has got the most foreign aid for natural disaster relief

& rehabilitation. It has obtained 43 such loans from the World

Bank alone, well ahead of China (32), Bangladesh (28) and Brazil

(27). India is easily No. 1 in aid received ($8,257 million).

Though India‟s land area is large (3.29 million Sq Km), it is

smaller than that of China (9.59 million Sq Km) and Brazil (8.55

million Sq Km) and not much more than that of Algeria (2.38

million Sq Km) or Saudi (2.51 million Sq Km). the damage India

suffers and the disaster aid it gets, are disproportionately large.

Rising population has driven poor Indians to settle in risky

areas (Flood plains, drought prone areas, cyclone prone areas,

seismic zones). Population pressure is less elsewhere.

Nevertheless, populations are raising the world over in high risk

zones, so natural disasters are causing rising damage and taking

more lives. The World Bank estimates that the material cost of

disaster damage rose from barely $40 billion in the 1950s to $652

billion in 1990s. The number of major disasters increased from

100 in 1975 to 400 in 2005. Nature creates hazards, but human

action creates disasters.

With preventive action, hazards like hurricanes need not

translate into disasters. A recent hurricane caused damage in

Grenada, a Caribbean country, equal to 200% of its GDP. But an

even strong er hurricane (category 5) hit Bermuda and caused


only modest damage. Why? Because low income Grenada had

makeshift housing that collapsed, whereas high income Bermuda

had hurricane-proof buildings.

Prevention is better than cure. Yet, neither citizens nor

governments give priority to disaster prevention. When a tsunami

or earthquake strikes, citizens and donors respond with swiftness

and generosity. But once the tragedy ceases to dominate

newspaper headlines, public interest drops steeply.

Many countries are hit repeatedly by disasters, donors give

repeated aid, but neither pays much attention to prevention.

A recent Bank publication (Hazards of Nature, Risks to

Development) estimates that $1 of spending on prevention can

prevent $40 of damage. Why, then, is there so little interest in

preventive projects? Because if prevention succeeds, nothing

happens! There are no blazing headlines, no tragic horror stories.

Moreover many countries & communities believe that they will get

aid anyway, so why invest in prevention? Many of them view

preventive investment as a cost, not a benefit.

What sort of preventive action works best? Experience in India

and aboard suggests a few lessons.

Develop emergency plans and early warning systems for

vulnerable areas. Make sure early warnings reach and are

understood by vulnerable people.

Ensure community participation in disaster planning. Without

community participation, technical fixes will not work.

Prepare & disseminate manuals that identify which actors

should perform which functions in the event of disaster.

Stock emergency supplies (water purification tablets, plastic

sheets, first aid kits) in risk prone communities.


Build public buildings like schools and health centers in

locations most likely to survive a disaster (such as high

ground in flood prone area).

After a disaster, rebuild houses & infrastructure strong

enough to withstand future disasters: nature tends to hit the

same places repeatedly.

Institute building codes tailored to the disaster risk in

different areas. Educate people on the advantages of following

building codes.

Ensure that infrastructure and buildings in risk prone areas

are well maintained.

Create emergency shelters and ensure that these have water

supply and sanitation to serve big crowds that will arrive

during a disaster. The Latur earthquake in Maharashtra and

Kutch earthquake in Gujarat demonstrated that the illiterate

villagers could build quake-proof houses if given simple

instructions.

Briefly, they need to use reinforced concrete for the four

corners of a house and also three rings of reinforcement at the

top, middle and bottom of the outer walls. However, villagers yet

to be hit by quakes are reluctant to retrofit their buildings.

Turkey has instituted compulsory national insurance in quake

prone areas. But this will not work in poor countries.

The poorest people in shanty towns face so many risks that

they give no priority to natural disaster risk. They will not build

according to codes, not subscribe to insurance and not stay away

from hazard prone areas.

The indirect solution here is to have policies that raise

incomes. Only the non-poor find it worthwhile to invest in

preventive action. So poverty reduction can translate into disaster

reduction.”


HAZARD, RISK & VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS

EXTENT OF SEISMIC HAZARD

Vulnerability of District Budgam to Earthquakes

The state of J&K is prone to seismic hazard. Some of the

very intense earthquakes have occurred in this region. According

to the seismic-zone map of India, Kashmir North and Kashmir

central districts lie in Zone V category (very high risk zone). Other

areas like Anantnag, Jammu, Poonch, Udhampur, Leh, Ladakh &

Muzzafarabad lie in Zone IV (high risk zone).

Budgam district falls in seismic Zone IV and is therefore

vulnerable to earthquakes.

The strong earthquake which tore/ ripped through the

Kashmir on October 8, 2005 and the recent studies by experts

that this region can witness many such quakes establish the fact

that earthquake could be the most damaging hazard in this

region as compared to other hazards like floods, heavy snowfalls.

The impact of magnitude of earthquakes that have occurred so far

(in the past) has been much stronger in comparison with other

hazards.

District Budgam is also a populous district and majority of

constructions in Budgam are not earthquake resistant and a level

of preparedness towards coping with earthquakes is very less. The

people, the houses, the public buildings and entire property in the

district is at risk and a large earthquake can cause extensive

damage to life & property.

There have been large-scale haphazard constructions in the

district and the density of population in the rural areas has also

increased. The congested localities / towns with houses and

shanties abound is an area of concern. Even in rural areas now,

there is a shift towards construction of brick and mortar houses,


stacked back to back without proper planning. This is quite

dangerous in an earthquake prone area / active seismic zone.

The factors that make people living in Budgam vulnerable to

the damaging impact of earthquake are the unsafe constructions

(seismically), the congested localities / habitations, construction

of houses in areas prove to erosion.

Land Degradation has become a serious problem in

Budgam. The district mostly comprises of the Karewa land.

Karewa formation is a unique physiographic feature of this

district. Karewas are flat topped or undulating surface mounds.

There are many areas in district Budgam which are prone to

erosion and therefore not fit for raising habitations. There has

also been considerable grazing of cattle in the hills as a result of

which undergrowths are wiped off. At the time of precipitation, it

leads to water run off as there is not adequate absorption of

water. There is lot of gully formation on these karewas. This leads

to gully erosion, slopes get washed off and land becomes prone to

sliding. When earthquake occur, the stability of these slopes is

disturbed and the tremors accelerate landslides and soil erosion.

Also due to thunderstorms in areas which are barren, there is

run-off of water, leading to the soil erosion. The tremors aggravate

the stability of these areas.

The Department of Geology and Soil Conservation

department can suggest areas which require afforestation /

vegetative cover. It is also to be ensured that there is not

exploitation of pastures and alternate grazing is ensured i.e.

pastures are grazed alternately and regeneration / restoration of

undergrowths is allowed during the cooling off period.


The plan is to conduct a detailed study of areas more risky to

ravages of earthquake. The experts from Geology department can

study the soil types and do grading / zoning of the land in district

Budgam to specify which of the zones are not fit for habitation

and can not withstand strong earthquakes.

On the basis of expert study, the people living in risky areas

would be asked to shift to safer areas and the government would

identify areas which are relatively safe for raising habitations.


DISASTER MANAGEMENT ACTION PLAN

DISTRICT BUDGAM

RATIONALE FOR DISASTER MANAGEMENT & MITIGATION

[What a disaster does & why disaster management / mitigation]

It takes years together and huge / copious amount of funds

to build roads, bridges, buildings and have all other

infrastructure like communication, industries, electricity, water

supply, etc. But unfortunately when a disaster strikes everything

is razed to ground and the losses are monumental. The years of

progress come to nothing and a disaster brings an abrupt end to

all such accomplishments. The threat to the development gains

posed by disasters has to be minimized to a large extent.

Though calamities like floods, landslides, heavy snow, and

soil erosion do cause loss of life & property but still the impact

can be minimized by swift action. The damage caused by floods,

landslides, erosion and snow is not all-pervasive and extensive.

But one of the biggest vulnerabilities of this region, the

earthquake, poses a colossal threat to progress and development.

Since this region falls in Seismic Zone 5, if an earthquake of high

intensity strikes, there is bound to be extensive loss of life &

property. The fact that occurrence of earthquake can not be

predicted in advance; it is all the more important that we are in

preparedness and take measures so as to mitigate the adverse

impact of earthquakes on life & property. So we need to act

during normal times as natural calamity can strike anytime.

Disaster Management & Mitigation has to be peace time activity.

The District Administration shall in the short and long term

devise strategies to reduce the vulnerability of Budgam to


disasters especially earthquakes and work towards minimizing

the losses that could arise from a possible calamity. The District

administration envisages taking the following measures to deal

with the threat of natural disasters:

1. INCORPORATING DISASTER MANAGEMENT IN DEVELOPMENT

PLANS:

Our kind of development is leading to disaster vulnerability

& not disaster mitigation. In that sense, there happens to be a

linkage between development (unplanned] and disaster. It is now

well known that earthquakes, per se, do not kill. At the time of

severe earthquakes, it is the collapsing / falling buildings that kill

people (under its rubble). The reason is that most of our

buildings, private and public, are not earthquake resistant and

adoption of earthquake resistant technology has been completely

ignored. Our development plans do not encompass Disaster

Management in its fold.

Our development plans should have disaster management

as its essential component. Incorporation of mitigation

components in the development plans shall facilitate

implementation of both the disaster management plan and

district‟s development plan and it shall pave way for long term

risk reduction. Our development shall not be hazardous but it

shall withstand the destructive impact of disasters. We need to

place our infrastructural development around the guidelines set

for buildings in high seismic-zone areas. We need to adhere to

rules strictly and ensure compliance to building bylaws on part of

the engineers and builders.

The need is to make suitable changes to the District

Development Plan and integrate Disaster Management component


with every development activity. This is possible even when

additional funds for disaster mitigation are hard to come by. For

instance, if there is a plan for building ten school buildings in the

district for a particular year, it is better to construct only eight

schools and the saving of two buildings can be utilized for

constructing these eight schools with earthquake resistant

technology. So instead of having ten unsafe structures we shall

have eight safe & earthquake resistant school buildings.

Therefore, it is important to sensitize our planners about the

vulnerabilities of a location and the need to have a comprehensive

developmental plan, which also addresses the collateral risks

involved.

Our kind of development should not lead to a disaster but

prevent disasters from bringing our years of progress to nothing.

As more & more development of infrastructure takes place, our

economic losses due to disasters are bound to increase if our

infrastructure is not disaster-resistant. We have to ensure proper

planning and designing so that the few minutes of say, a violent

earthquake, does not destroy our years of development &

progress.

2. IDENTIFICATION OF AREAS VULNERABLE TO DISASTERS

There are many areas in district Budgam which are very

susceptible to natural calamities like earthquakes, land slides,

erosion, floods etc. Occurrence of any of these disasters could

cause loss of life and property.

In the past land-erosion has been reported from Brinjan ,

Darwan –Nowgam, Negoo & Jabbad areas of Nagam & Chadoora

blocks.The threat of erosion in these areas still persists. On the

other hand the congested localities at Charar i sharief are


vulnerable to earthquake. A high-intensity earth quake in

congested localities, where non-engineered houses and buildings

have come up, can cause huge fatalities, more so when thousands

of people live in clusters having weak structures and narrow

lanes. At the time of earthquake panic-stricken people usually

run out of their houses and in congested localities they could

come under the falling debris.

So the plan would be to identify disaster prone and

vulnerable areas in Budgam district so that residential colonies

are raised at safe locations and people living in risk prone areas

are rehabilitated elsewhere. Geology & Mining department shall

be involved in identification of vulnerable areas. The concerned

department would be asked to prepare a geological map which

would delineate areas in district Budgam that can be exposed to

the impact of strong earthquakes and other natural disasters.

Once Geology department maps these areas, no

construction activity would be allowed in these danger zones. The

Geological experts would be requested to complete this activity /

assignment within a reasonable time frame.

3. BUILDING PERMISSION

At present only a few areas come under Municipalities /

Municipal Committees in Budgam. These Municipal Committees

regulate construction of houses within its jurisdiction and people

have to obtain building permission for new construction. This is

where local authorities can ensure that settlements don‟t come up

in unsafe areas.

However 75% of people live beyond Municipalities in

Budgam. There has to be a regulatory frame-work in place which

would discourage construction activity in areas vulnerable to


impact of earthquakes and other disasters like floods, land slides

etc. Once the Geological map of District Budgam is ready, the

Tehsil / Block Officers and even Panchayats would be given

authority to deal with unplanned construction activity. It shall be

made mandatory to seek building permission from the concerned

Government offices / Panchayat bodies. This would arrest

uncontrolled and haphazard construction of houses and that too

in risk prone areas. Enforcement of laws is important in this

regard to not allow people to settle in susceptible areas.

4. RETROFITTING / STRENGTHENING OF EXISTING BUILDINGS

There are so many buildings in the district which have been

constructed without adhering to the BIS norms pertaining to the

earthquake resistant construction. This means that such

buildings are not safe enough to resist the impact of a severe

earth quake. If earthquake resistant technology is used in

construction of buildings, such structures can withstand

earthquakes up to a certain magnitude.

Especially public buildings such as hospitals, courts,

colleges, schools and other government offices have huge

presence of people at any given point of time. If these buildings

are prone to damage by earthquakes of higher intensity, it is time

that we strengthen these buildings by opting for retrofitting. As is

evident from Gujarat and Kashmir Earthquake in past two years,

there was a huge loss of lives of school children due to collapse of

school buildings. So we must go for long term strengthening /

retrofitting of public buildings to avoid future losses. The

technology and expertise for this is available in the country.

Retrofitting of buildings not initially designed for earthquake

shall cost an extra 10-18% of the cost of the building. It involves


laying of horizontal & vertical seismic belts and other

reinforcements.

The strategy would be to prepare a list of public buildings

requiring retrofitting. For this the trained engineers would be

asked to inspect / examine government/public buildings in the

entire district and suggest which of these buildings require

repairs. The services of structural engineers having expertise in

retrofitting shall also be hired. A sizable portion of funds shall be

earmarked each year for retrofitting of the existing public

buildings in the earthquake zone. Not only would the risk of loss

of lives be minimized but also these very buildings ___ hospitals,

schools, government offices serve as lifelines and makeshift

rehabilitation centers in the aftermath of a disaster.

5. TRAINING OF ENGINEERS, ARCHITECTS AND OTHER KEY

PERSONNEL

Not much head way can be made with regard to Disaster

Prevention & Mitigation if the engineers are not trained in the job

at hand. Till date the construction of buildings has been generally

non-engineered, not conforming to the Bureau of Indian

Standards (BIS). Majority of buildings in District Budgam are not

resistant to earthquakes.

Hence forth the strategy would be to construct all new

buildings according to the building bye laws. BIS codes shall have

to be followed strictly.

In order to achieve this, it is essential to impart training to

all the engineers of the district in a phased manner so that they

get trained in adoption of earth quake resistant technology, while

designing and constructing new buildings.


For capacity development of engineers & architects, the

district administration shall seek assistance from organizations

like National Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM) and

Ministry of Home Affairs‟ Urban Earthquake Vulnerability

Reduction Programme (UEVRP); which is a Govt. of India - UNDP

Disaster Risk Management Programme. The trained engineers

would further give training to works‟ supervisors and masons.

6. ESTABLISHMENT OF SPECIAL BIS CELL:

At the same time, all the engineering departments would be

asked to establish a special BIS Cell which would be competent to

technically check all building designs and construction estimates.

This cell would ensure adherence to the prescribed building codes

in the seismic zone IV & V . This special cell would also offer

expert advice to private builders and other interested parties in

helping them to take advantage of the earthquake resistant

technology.

7. IEC PROGRAMMES

INFORMATION, EDUCATION & COMMUNICATION

For a long time now; we have been in slumber and our

method of dealing with a disaster has been that after it had

struck, we would commence rescue, relief operations and

rehabilitation of affected people. There was nothing like the

prevention and mitigation strategy in place. Our lack of resources,

education and knowledge about disasters also did not help our

cause.

But after a few big disasters that hit the country like

Gujarat earthquake, South Asian Tsunami, Snow Storm at

Waltengoo J&K and last year‟s 7.4 magnitude earthquake, we

have started thinking on positive lines. More so because we are


living in seismic zone IV & V. Our bitter experience with some of

the recent calamities has goaded us into action and our

awareness level about disasters has improved a little.

More such awareness is needed on a large scale so that

disaster management campaign is started every where in urban &

rural areas. The efforts of all the Government departments have to

multiply. Each sector has to do a risk analysis and fix its role and

responsibility in disaster mitigation & prevention.

Therefore education about disasters & its management has

to be spread far & wide. Educating common masses is equally

important through awareness programmes, media and mock

drills. It is also high time that disaster management is included in

the school curriculum as a subject. The IEC Programmes in

schools & colleges should become very common. Debates,

workshops and symposia on disaster management can create

significant awareness.

Guides/ leaflets/ handouts on how to be prepared for a

disaster, how to mitigate the threat, Do‟s & don‟t during and after

the disaster can be disseminated among the general public.

Equally important is educating the government

functionaries, police, private sector employees; NGO‟s about

disaster management and acquaint them about their roles and

responsibilities as citizens. Simulation, mock drills on relief and

rescue operations can also be useful methods of educating the

government employees and general public.

The training of key personnel like engineers to design

disaster resistant buildings, health professionals, police & other

government functionaries has to be organized at regular intervals.

IEC has to be an important activity towards making the

government work force and general public knowledgeable about


disaster management, mitigation, prevention & improve their

preparedness to deal with such eventualities.

8. FORMULATION OF SECTORAL PLANS:

All the line departments shall be required to prepare

Disaster Management Plan specific to their sector so that

preparedness and response mechanism is ready across all

sectors.

There will be Health Sector contingency plan for

management of crisis situation, e.g.: District Health department

shall specify public health risks due to floods, earthquake,

epidemic, drought and come up with a list of common diseases

likely to spread after a particular calamity. It would outline the

preventive measures and work out requirement of medicine and

other emergency equipment needed at the time of a calamity. It

would also calculate the stock of medical stores required at a

given point of time in emergency situations. The hospitals shall

prepare a contingency plan for mass-casualty management.

Similarly other departments like Public Health Engineering,

Flood Control, Roads & Buildings, Consumer Affairs & Public

Distribution, Mechanical Engineering, Electric department, police,

Fire & Emergency Services shall also devise their Disaster Risk

Management plans. This would keep all the departments in a

state of preparedness and the preventive measures shall go a long

way in minimizing the adverse impact of any disaster as and

when it strikes.

DISASTER MANAGEMENT

PLANS /

CONTINGENCY PLANS

OF

VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS


FLOOD MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR DISTRICT BUDGAM

Budgam is situated location wise partly on the Eastern and

partly on the Southern side of the river Jehlum. Floods are not

regular phenomena in District Budgam. With area of 1371 square

Kilometers Budgam is the smallest District of the state of Jammu

and Kashmir. The topography of the District is both plain and

hilly. The District Budgam consists of Nine Tehsils namely

Budgam, Beerwah, B.K.Pora, Chadoora, Charisharief, Khansahib,

Khag, Magam and Narbal. It comprises of Seventeen Community

Development Blocks. These blocks are Budgam, Beerwah,

B.K.Pora, Chadoora, Charisharief, Khag, Khansahib, Nagam,

Narbal, Pakherpora, Parnewa, Ratsun, Soibugh, Sukhnag,

Surasyar, S.K.Pora and Waterhail. There are several Nallahs

flowing into the river Jehlum from the watersheds which are

mostly torrential in nature and when in spate possess

tremendous discharge and destructive power often causing

damage to property and life along the course. Whenever the river

Jehlum is in spate and in order to save the city of Srinagar the

water is channelized in the flood channels and again when the

flow is still not under control and threatens the areas on the

Northern side (City) a breach is made at Kandizal located in

District Pulwama. This is the desperate and ultimate attempt to

avert danger to the urban areas of the Srinagar city. As a result of

such a step 17 villages of Tehsil Chadoora are inundated. Also

some areas of Chadoora get affected by the Nallah Doodhganga.

During the September 2014 floods, a huge damage was occurred

to the 16456 structures and death of the 4 persons also occurred.

It was observed that against the total 510 villages, 154 villages


were affected, which involved 44121 families in the district. So

far as Tehsil Budgam is concerned its low lying areas get

submerged because of over flowing of flood channels and water

logging because of rain. As far as Tehsil Beerwah is concerned its

low lying areas from Bonemakhama down wards are inundated by

the flash flood in the Nallah Sukhnag. Following are the

areas/localities/villages in the three Tehsils of the District which

are flood prone. The detailed plan as formulated is as under:-

S. No. Tehsil Area prone to getting submerged during floods

CONTINGENCY PLAN

ANIMAL & SHEEP HUSBANDRY DEPARTMENT

1. NATURAL CALAMITIES/DISASTERS As life and death are the two faces of the same coin, good

and odd days are similarly two inseparable components of life and

living. The people living in our part of the world since ages have a

habit of storing life requirements including feed and fodder for

livestock. The Snow Avalanches of 2004 in Anantnag District and

severe earth-quake of 2005 have given birth to the newer

requirements and have probably awakened us from a slumber

that nature can be ruthless at any time and we need to have a

contingency plan to meet these unforeseen disasters so as to

minimize damage to life and livestock. Besides, such contingency

plans would help us to minimize the post-calamity damages

which other wise are long lasting and severely damaging.

The livestock like human life is more vulnerable to disasters

and vagaries of nature. Since the rearing of livestock is directly

proportional to the economy of farmer, any damage or loss

inflicted on to the livestock directly affects the economy of the

farmer. Below given are some of the contingency steps which can

be taken in advance to protect our precious livestock from far

reaching effects of natural calamities like quake, floods, drought

which may hit district Budgam any time.

The Livestock Population of the District:

I. Cattle 171746

II. Buffalo 499

III. Pack Animals 9489

IV. Sheep 105926/190000

V. Goats 41141

3. 08 Budgam 50% 50%

C. Drought

All rain fed areas of District, some 77285 cattle heads and

75% Sheep population of the district are under severe risk.

D. Earth Quake

The earthquake in 2005 which struck the valley has

exposed whole livestock population to this natural disaster. All

171746 cattle heads and other livestock species are vulnerable to

this calamity. However the animals in higher areas where sheds

are generally made of mud and sun dried bricks are more

vulnerable to such calamites. It is projected that some 20% of the

District‟s cattle population comes under the severe risk group.


MEASURES SUGGESTED TO OVERCOME DISASTERS

1. Introduction of compulsory Insurance Scheme for Cross bred

cattle/sheep of the identified high risk belts of District. The

premium of Insurance should be subsidized. The Insurance cover

should have a special clause of PTD.

2. First Aid

After disasters like earthquake, there is an immediate need

to render all possible assistance to affected livestock. Items of first

aid/health cover/life saving drugs and emergency equipments like

surgical packs need to be purchased for free of cost distribution

among the farmers and for rendering first aid. After the initial

damages of every disaster, the fall outs are more severe and long

lasting. In our case the outbreaks of various diseases are very

common after such disasters, therefore a contingency plan needs

to be in place to combat various scheduled diseases in addition to

the immediate disposal of dead and decaying carcasses. An

amount of 3.00 lacs is projected to be required for this purpose.

3. Subsidized ration

The district is already deficit in fodder production. Besides

all the feed ingredients are being imported from out side the

district and state, at very high prices. It is proposed to open

subsidized feed stores at various Blocks of the district during

disasters. Free rations/feed will be distributed among the affected

population of the area. Since the dry grass is traditionally being

stored/ stocked in sheaves by the cattle farmers, during disasters

like Snow Storms and Earthquake, this dry grass gets damaged

and also becomes inaccessible. So it is proposed to make some

provision for purchase of Canvas/polythene/ tarpaulins so that

dry grass is protected from vagaries of nature. An amount of 5.00

lacs is projected to be required for this purpose.


4. Construction of Shelter Sheds.

Since natural calamities/disasters don't keep a calendar

and can strike at any time of the year, it is proposed to construct

animal shelter sheds in high land pastures because the animals

in pastures are vulnerable to hail stones, snow storms and other

vagaries of nature. Such animal shelters can also be constructed

at all upper belts of the district to keep a provision for the

eventualities in those high risk zones. An amount of Rs10.00 lacs

is projected for the purpose.

5. Free Dosing Vaccination.

Since the disasters suppress the immune status of the

animals. Even parasitic diseases can badly decrease the

production capacity of the affected animals. It is proposed that

during disasters free mineral mixture along with dosing material

be supplied to fanners to ensure that the production capacity of

the affected animals is maintained if not improved. An amount of

4.00 lacs is projected to be required for this purpose.

6. Transportation.

In addition to above, one vehicle (Ambulance) needs to be

purchased for mobility of staff and transportation of critically

injured animals during these disasters. An amount of Rs 10.00

lacs is projected for the purpose.

READINESS & CONTINGENCY PLAN OF

ELECTRIC DIVISION BUDGAM

01) In the event of disaster like earth quake, Flood, Snow

etc, power sector is affected in a major way with collapsing

of towers, poles, snapping of conductors and damages to

sub stations etc. These threats can be minimized by using

latest technology and material for improving the deteriorated

condition of our age old poles, conductors and sub stations.

The improvement needs huge investment and is not possible

by providing meager funds.

However, threats posed to 33 KV transmission lines,

Grid stations & Receiving Stations may be taken with

Superintendent Engineer, M& RE Circle IInd, Srinagar and

Chief Engineer M& RE Wing, Kashmir.

02) Presently, our department is prepared to deal with

minor damages by providing poles and conductors.

However, shifting or re-erection of full lines and sub stations

in short period of time shall need special funds, at least, to

the tune of Rs 70 lacs so that materials are procured and

kept reserved to meet any major damages caused by some

disaster.

03) The damages can be minimized by providing

communication facilities, at least, to the level of J.E‟s &

S.O‟s. For this minimum 40 No mobile phones and 07 No.

land line connections for seven sub divisions are imperative

to keep close communication between field staff and officials

situated at head quarters.

Besides special weather proof uniforms must be

provided to the field workers, so that rescue and


rehabilitation works during disasters is well coordinated and

monitored.

04) As already mentioned, our department can provide

maximum 10 No. poles and 02 Km conductor and other

small items for meeting minor emergencies. But for meeting

emergencies during floods, earth quakes or heavy snow fall,

our department is not fully equipped. It needs separate

funds to the tune of Rs 70 lacs exclusively to be meant to

meet disaster emergencies. The minimum material

requirement to meet any major challenge is as under:

a. 25 KVA Diesel Generator Sets (12 No.)

b. 9 m / 8 m Steel Tubular Poles (300 No.)

c. 0.03 / 0.05 ACSR Conductor (50 Km)

05) There are 510 census villages in District Budgam

covering 1548 small or large habitations / mohallas / parts.

Out of 510 villages, 510 are electrified as on 31/07/15. In

order to have the improvement and upgradation of the

electrification system in the district an amount of rupees 75

crores have been remarked under the newly centrally

sponsored scheme namely “Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram

Jyoti Yojana or DDUGJY”.

06) There is one power house (hydro or other) in Budgam

at Branwar. Hence to meet any emergency, special funds to

the tune of Rs 1 crore under Disaster Management Head

may be released in favor of this division.

Disaster Management has to be a peace-time activity. The District

Disaster Management Committee shall conduct review meetings

at regular intervals to assess the progress made with regard to

Disaster Management. The preparedness, mitigation and

prevention measures have to be monitored and scrutinized

periodically. The implementation of Disaster Management plan

has to be reviewed and every year in April the Disaster

Management plan has to be updated and necessary changes

modifications have to be incorporated in the plan. The data bank

as well as the resource inventory has to be updated.

At the time of an emergency/disaster, the District Disaster

Management committee would meet at short notice so as to chalk

out a strategy to cope with any such exigency. This District

Committee would make key decisions and devise various courses

of action to deal with a disaster situation.

The District Disaster Management committee comprising of

sectoral officers shall also ensure implementation of Disaster

Management Plan during the normal time. The focus shall be on

gauging the threat of disasters, vulnerability analysis,

preparedness and prevention measures required to be taken.

Management committee shall, from time to time, receive reports


on preparedness from the concerned departments at the district

level.

In order to make Disaster Management activities more

effective, the key departments would be asked to devise their own

Disaster Management plans concerning to their domain. For

instance Chief Medical Officer would come up with Disaster

Management plan to deal with health related emergences in the

health sector. Likewise separate Water and Sanitation Response

plan, Relief and Rescue operations plan, Flood management plan,

Public Distribution System during emergencies have to be

formulated at the district level by the concerned departments.

This shall create synergy effect and benefit the district in having a

comprehensive Disaster Management strategy.
